Hi Friends! These cute boxes are a snap to make and will hold a lot of goodies during your next party plus they are affordable to make using supplies from Papermart!
Directions:
Assemble macaroon boxes. Cut 18″ of crepe paper in the colors of your choice, trim to desired width. Glue to macaroon box and pleat the paper as you go to make ruffles. Pleat a doily as shown in the video, add it to the box and wrap with baker’s twine. Top with a label and buttons.
You can make a drawer pull with ribbon and tulle on the slider portion of the box if desired. I hope you enjoyed this simple party favor tutorial and til next time happy crafting!
Looking for a unique theme for your next party? How about an exotic Middle Eastern one! I designed the Arabian Nights Party kit for a customer who was throwing an Arabian Princess Party for her niece but the theme can be used for sleepovers, sweet 16, bachelorette, birthdays and more!
For the kids I included a “pin the tail on the camel” game, there are instructions on printing this to poster size using a standard home printer too. It is easy!
You get TEN 8.5″x11″ full sheet printables and ONE 5″x7″ invitation in this kit. The banners come in two sizes, I used the small ones in this photo. All of the templates are in JPG format and easy to customize.
Also included in the kit are SVG cutting files. You can cut large desert borders and party banners to use as decorations and you can cut the crown out of gold cardstock for a do-it-yourself party craft activity!
If you are throwing a party for kids you can show the Disney movie Alladin of for tweens you can rent reruns of I Dream of Genie on Netflix.
For refreshments you can serve hummus, falafel, pita triangles, baba ghanoush and rice with chickpeas. It is very vegetarian friendly too! Here is a look at what you get in the Arabian Party Kit:
So the next time you need to host a party why not think outside of the box and try an Arabian Nights party! Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!
Howdy! Boy, I am in the Halloween spirit! For the past two weeks I have been listing to a Stephen King audio book (Bag of Bones) while crafting and I think it is beginning to affect my work:
***Sale in the Lindsay’s stamp stuff Shop extended through Friday night at Midnight****
Holy cow, what a sale! Here is a close up of the sign, I bought a blank sign at the Dollar Tree, covered it with pattern paper using Mod-Podge then added the images that I colored with my copics and cut out with hot glue:
The crinkle ribbon I made with seam-binding and spray ink, The black has a cool shimmer because I used my homemade glimmer mist on it. Tip-If you are in a hurry when making crinkled ribbon use your heat gun to dry it, it makes it crinkle more in fact! Thanks to Cheryl for the glimmer mist on black tip!

Click on a face and slide it on top of the highest round part of the SVG template, resize if needed. click on another jack-o-lantern face and drag it to the bottom circle and rotate it so it is upside down, resize if needed and cut.
